Changes in 2017

2017 brought with it a very important change for working seniors.

For a long time now, 65 was the “full retirement age”, but as of 1/1/2017, that changes for people who have their 62nd birthday this year. For those turning 62 in 2017, “full retirement age” is 66 years and two months. Due to a law passed in 1983, “full retirement age” has been gradually increasing for those of us born since 1938, until it reaches 67 for people born after 1959.
